Quilt Inspiration – The colors of the surf and sand
I used two charm packs in shades of blue and yellow by Stonehenge to design a quilt that reminds me of a warm day on a California beach. I set half-square triangle blocks in a fishhook pattern, randomly mixing the different shades of blue and gold together.
To make the back interesting, I used leftover half-square triangle blocks, along with leftover fabric strips and fabric left over from the binding, to make the blue and yellow stripes.
The quilt was longarm quilted with an edge-to-edge swirly wave pattern by Longarm Quilting of Chadds Ford.
I photographed both sides of the quilt along the California coast in the Monterey area when I was attending an Empty Spools quilting class.
